    They certainly aren’t going to have capacity/peak problems.

    Same streaming service as Hulu & NBC

    Yeah that's me, 2018 model, the cnuts. But I have a laptop permanent on media duties and a Chrome cast set up, anyway. I Only really wanted it for ease of remote control usage!

    Just got an email from Spark which might be of interest:

    "What if I have a 2017 or 2018 LG TV?
    If you have recently purchased a 2017 or 2018 LG TV and are a Spark Sport customer or have a Spark Sport voucher, you may be eligible for a supplementary device or a Spark Sport refund.
    Visit our help site for more information.
    If you have a 2017 or 2018 LG TV but aren’t yet a Spark Sport customer, you can still enjoy Spark Sport via a range of supporting devices. Find out more. "

    As you already have a "supplementary device" probably of no use but a refund might be nice.

    I've signed up. Was relatively painless. I am looking forward to it.

    I understand the frustration of people who don't have good broadband, however I am not concerned for myself. I use Netflix and other streaming sites all the time and Chromecast them to my TV. I think it will be fine.

    Can people overseas use a vpn and get the Spark stream?

    Asking for a friend.

    @Canerbry It's easy to setup your own VPS in NZ, but it's generally very slow from those servers.

    Wouldn't they be better off tapping into a free stream in the country they are in? Or find a free stream online?

    Another interesting 1014 on Spark. This time on 'pool curve'.

    Considering they dont appear to gave access to any video coverage yet for video analysis after flipping to spark, they're absolutely aceing these graphs.

    World Rugby will offer its own free streaming service for the upcoming Rugby World Cup in markets where broadcast deals are not in place.

    According to an email I just received, the Japan vs South Africa cup warm up game is live on Spark Sport tonight at 10:15pm. First chance to test out the live streaming/picture quality etc. before the cup gets underway.

    Anyone know about streaming options in China for the World Cup? I'll be working there during it.

    @Tim Probably via the World Rugby website or one of its sub-sites.

    @Stargazer Thanks for the link. I couldn't find the official broadcaster's link. World Rugby streams are normally good, but I'll check out BEIN and Rugbypass too.

    I must be an antique. Having constant issues trying to get my sparksport 'rugbypass' working to watch the SA v Japan match. Have given up on casting to TV (can't find my wifi network) and get stop/start on my android. Are other people having the same issues, or is it my setups that are to blame?

    Does anyone know if there’s an alternative for watching live in rural areas where the internet speed is not suitable? Any tricks will be appreciated.

    And no, I’m not content with the teasers they’ve dangled out free to air on TV.
